Oh, don't stop! It's like jumping in a swimming pool-yes the water's cold at first but once your in you don't want out. Even if your first effort is a little wonky, I know you will be hooked. One of the first ones I did was out of the magazine Quick Quilts. Many of the patterns in there are beginner rated. Another idea is buy a set of charm packs (pre-cut 5" squares) and just sew them together. Buy one cute fabric with a motif, let's say frogs. Then buy a blue and a green. Cut your solids into 2 1/2" strips and make blue and green 4 patches. Then set them with your motif fabric. Super simple idea and cute results. The disappearing 9 patch sounds complecated but it is really simple and the results are awesome. There is a great tutorial here on the board. You can do it!!!!
